Prima Luna amp or preamp best speaker -Help
I'm curious about the new Prima Luna preamps too, as I've been considering the 3 to match with an Aragon 8008BB poweramp. Point taken re the relative power imbalance. Where can one find out about the new Prima Luna preamps? There is not one word o... 
How to match a tube preamp to a solid state amp?
What did you end up getting and how does it sound? I'm new at this and in the same boat, trying to match a tube preamp choice with an Aragon 8008BB poweramp, but in a 2-channel system. My speakers are Taylo 7Us in a 20x13x8.5' carpeted room. 
JoLida 502b suitable for computer stereo system?
I'll look at the other DACs you mention and think of them along with the 302b as a possibility. Space is a consideration, though, and the Mambo iteself isn't small either.Do you like your Arros?

Rotel RB-1090 v. Aragon 8008BB
What I read is the Aragon is more capable on the lower frequencies, though I wonder if that's more important for hard rock and jazz than the Baroque and 19th century Italian opera and Mozart I mostly listen to. The Taylo Reference monitors I'm buy... 
Tyler Acoustic vs. Paradigm
I'm ordering the Taylo Reference monitors after auditioning the Paradigm Studio 40s. The only question is whether I'll upgrade the order to the Taylo 7Us instead. I liked Ty's upgrade programs too.
